Scarves Ode to the Hermes Cashmere GM Shawls

[ms piggy]

Thank you Luvbolide, toujours*chic, andee, Ammietwist for your thoughts and comments. I have a feeling the terracotta CM would be closer to the dusty pink Marwari than the pink Tigre Royale. However as 880 mentioned, there could be the chance this colourway could work on my complexion due to the mix of colours in it. I tried on the CM in mousseline again today and the pattern is surely me (oh, am tempted by the cobalt mousseline I tried too, lol!) A lovely print this is.

Thank you 880 for getting more pics and how kind of Miss Margaux to offer her DH's help!!

ditto ditto. but what's my excuse? i picked out the Coupons Indiens IRL!!! won't wear it, just not the right design (in my c/w) for me

OMG, Laila T, please try the coupons Indiennes again - I think you and I might have the same one and it is one of my favorites -- but it took a while for me to figure that out. . .

 

[LailaT]

OT but hope you had a lovely meet; i would have enjoyed meeting you all and Miss Margaux! and i'm sure Mr. Margaux was nice too!

sweet 880, i loved it in the store because of the colors, and i was probably in the "thrush of shopping at FSH" cuz back here at home i just can't get along with the pattern. I would love seeing it on someone else though! Lead me to your action picture...

coupons indiennes - some days I hate it, and some days its my favorite. . . we have different coloring, but I swear this is a GM that lots of peeps could wear.Here is me trying to channel doloresmia or mai tai P.S. Doloresmia has a beautiful neutral colorway in coupons. . .

880, you look so great with that GM shawl!! I've always loved this shawl.

 

[880]

thanks HM! I loved seeing you in your beautiful CenC (the SA on wall street nixed it for me) and the beautiful soliel Gave me a lot of food for thought (I always assumed a 35 was too big for someone roughly my height but I thought it was perfect on you) to put on my imaginary wishlist! Forgot to tell you that my DH taste in socks is the same as your DS

Hello ladies,

This is a dangerous thread... so many beautiful shawls.

Jenyi, you look lovely with your shawl, very elegant.
880, you have the best smile... I love the way you wear your shawls.
Rileygirl, you are too funny... so hard to cut back on H.

Hope you don't mind if I post pictures of my two shawls purchased last week.

Laila T, I felt bad that you are not enjoying your Coupons Indiens shawl. I bought it in 3 colors, and wear them a lot. I have the rose indien, the lilac, and the blue canard. I am including some pictures of how I tie them. Sometimes I am not as neat as the pictures would suggest. One of the reasons I like this design, is there are so many ways to just toss it on, for a different look.

vildachya, those Coupons are gorgeous....love the middle one (what is the cw #, pls? is that the rose indien? eeek)

880, Gina, all you ladies - you look just GORGEOUS!

I got a new (oldie) pink Plumes GM

 

[Ammietwist]

That's the one I have, too, and it's the 01 colorway.
